Let’s face it, cover songs are a lot like Halloween costumes; while they’re not the real thing, some are great, some are really clever, some are actually genuinely scary, and a lot of them suck. That being said, this week I divulged into Hopeless Records’ “Punk Goes…” series. Now, there should be a disclaimer here that many of the bands

After four long years we finally get a taste of Adele’s upcoming album, 25, and it’s…stale. First off, I don’t think it’s bad. Not at all but the internet seems to have lost it’s shit more than all the Hotline Bling vines. It could be the overhype that killed it for me but I can’t help but think that

When you think of Southern Georgia hip hop, chances are you don’t think of anything with much substance to it. The assumption is that Georgia, like most southern hip hop, involves a lot of turning up and hype music. Atlanta is one of the crown jewels of hip hop in the south, and of course they’ve had their fair share

Milwaukee folk trio Dead Horses recently released the video for their single “Ain’t Got Time”. The song is bouncy, with a swinging sound that picks up as the tempo changes. As of right now, Dead Horses plan to record their upcoming album in Nashville, and this song definitely carries a country twang to it. However, there are also some wonderfully

One of the Milwaukee names breaking out on the national scene, Wave Chapelle, is back with a new track, “Lately”. Produced by Greedy Money, “Lately” is a smooth, laid back track that, somehow, you can still bounce along to. Heavily influenced by Yo Gotti, along with the rest of his CMG label, Wave shows some mature, calm tones on the

You ready for a crazy, two minute, trip of a music video? Good. You’ve come to the right place. Sasha Kaleidoscopia Vallely just released her visuals for “Sweet Little Boy” from her debut EP, soon to be released. Vallely has toured with several bands over the last decade and is now branching out to do more solo work. The video

I had the pleasure to interview Hemispheres before their show at Yield bar. Enjoy Would you three introduce yourselves and state your position in the band? Tim: I’m Tim. I play the guitar and sing the vocals. Jessie: I’m Jessie and I play the drums. James: I’m James and I play bass. How did you three meet and eventually formed? Tim: We

There’s a whole big world of alternative rap out there, and Milwaukee is no stranger to that scene as well. Enter Psychic Abi, one of the newcomers to that light with his video for “Kyojin Kira (Giant Killer)”. Released through Stupid Neel’s website, Banglocaldads.com, the video and song is pure turn up in one offering. If you just need something

Okay, so quick backstory time here; I was feeling a bit nostalgic, and during a rather unpleasant day, felt the need to find “The Silence In Black and White” by Hawthorne Heights on Spotify. Then, after pulling them up (do people still use that term? Did they ever?) I discovered that the band recently released a new record. I, being

The artist once known as Vonny Del Fresco is back, rebranded as Von Alexander, and it appears that he is refocused on greatness, exemplified in recent single “Waves”. Produced by DMND, Von’s style seems to have switched up ever so slightly, with a more ambitious flow than previous releases. There is, however, still the same attention to detail, and the
